Agreed, dimensions can't do math without proper setup!

I think it's the double quotes around the values.

Definitely need those transformations before the API call!

Wait, are we sure it's not just a formatting error?

Sounds like a missing JSON file issue.

I feel like I've seen this before, but I can't recall if the JSON file is mandatory or if it's just a best practice.

I practiced a similar question where transformations at the source were crucial. Maybe that's what we need to look at here?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think if the values in the CSV are in double quotes, it could cause them to be treated as strings instead of numbers.

I remember something about needing a JSON metadata file for the data to be recognized correctly. That might be the issue here.

The key here is to make sure the data is properly transformed before uploading it. The External Data API expects a certain format, so we'll need to handle that at the source.

Okay, let me see. If the field values were enclosed in double quotes, that could be causing the issue. I'll make sure to check that in the CSV file.

Ah, I think I know what the problem is. The JSON metadata file wasn't uploaded, so the system doesn't know how to interpret the data properly.

Hmm, this seems tricky. I'm not sure what the issue could be, but I'll try to think it through step-by-step.

But could it also be because the field values were in double quotes in the CSV file?

I agree with Tony, without the metadata file, the system won't recognize the data types.

Wait, the data was in double quotes? That's like wrapping a present in another present. No wonder the system is confused!

Hmm, this sounds like a classic case of not having the proper metadata file. I bet the JSON file is the culprit here. How else are they supposed to know which fields are dimensions and which are measures?

C) Proper transformations need to be performed at the external source prior to External Data API callout.
